The Amazing Race contestants Tiffany Michelle and Maria Ho have admitted that they felt pressure being the only all-female team.

The professional poker players from California, who were eliminated from the game for not being able to complete a challenge, told DS that they thought it was "time for a woman team to emerge" victorious on the CBS reality show.

"So, when we looked around the room and saw that we were the only chick team, definitely the pressure was on," Tiffany said.

She added: "Not only did we want it for ourselves, and to maybe make way to be that female team, but we definitely felt the pressure to represent for the other women."

Maria explained: "But, it took us about five minutes from starting the race to realise that if we stay focused on something like that, on trying to become the first female team to win, then we're never really going to get anywhere."

The Amazing Race continues next Sunday on CBS.
